  1. http://www.finchscustoms.com/ Ron Finch builds some of the coolest motorcycles, and is an all around artist. I got lucky the other day-found this DVD that has Gene Winfield on it. -Chris
  2. This is kind of backwards, using a modeling tool for every day life. So between this thread being 3 pages back and the talk about ladys fake finger nails- I thought I'd throw this out there. I've been plagued with ingrown toe nails from years of wearing steel toe work boots. For years I've used Revlon side cutter type nippers to dig them out but some times they are too big and bulky. A few years ago I tried a pair of sprue cutters and found them to work the best-now I have a pair just for that job !!
  3. Two of my favorite quotes from the GREAT Yogi Berra: "You can observe alot by watching" "The future ain't what it used to be "
  4. I was talking to a guy from Canada on the phone, He was looking for a set of "deck-ells" (decals)
  5. I was 24 years old before I figured out that Willie was NOT one of Ozzie and Harriets kids........... :lol:
  6. Although I'm not a big fan of that style/trend of cars, it's very interesting how the name came to be.
  7. I've seen this guy driving his Model A- around Traverse City Michigan a few times, I think he works for Hagerty Insurance-Or he's around there alot. Our local news covers his story quite often. If you think a car with points, spark plugs and a carb. is a bummer-- Wait till you drive a vehicle with mechanical brakes.
  8. I used to think my ex-wife knew every thing about every thing......Until I found Google.
  9. That looks fantastic !! Nice build. That would be a great car to put a Ken Kitchen resin 170 ci straight 6cyl. in .
  10. I'll send my order for a subscription out tomorrow- Could you pin a topic on how and where to send the order ? Can it be done on line and use PayPal ? What about gift subscriptions-the Holler Days are coming after all....
  11. Maybe there could be a "Magazine Subscription Drive"- There are 8,077 members here at last count. There may not be dues or fees-but there are expenses. I know I don't have a subscription either-I get the magazine at the hobby shop when they have them or trade for older issues from my friends.
  12. I was born in 1963,and had the doobie-ous experience of growing up IN Detroit,MI. There were alot of cars like this around there back then--- I think they were driven by the Chiefs of the Smackahoes Tribe ?........
  13. Your truck is a true work of ART ! I keep coming back to look at it over and over again, finding something new every time. It's like telling a story with pictures. Thank You for sharing your talent. ( I think I can smell the rust when it's on my screen?)
  14. After tipping the Tenax bottle over and spilling it, I came up with this. The bottle is a press fit into the cap-
  15. I've been in all kinds of funks in my life, but a modeling funk is the best one so far.
